    Don't discount yourself...you're pretty smart. One of the smartest people I've run across on this board.

    I know they will never do it but I think it should be a law that every new Presidential term; in the first year of that President's term when they submit their first budget, it be done so in an itemized way as to where Congress will have to approve every program on it's own. Like you said, you have uniforms that you never wear. So the DoD budget would have the uniforms be it's own funding nugget. I can see someone like Susan Collins asking the SecDef or whomever, "Don't they already have uniforms? Why are we spending 5 billion on them for the Army alone? I think a lot of programs are funded at the beginning of the year then they get reduced or suspended half way through the year to pay for something else. But in the next budget cycle, its fully funded again. Congress doesn't look all that closely at what happens after they fund something. Getting back to the idea, this would be for all departments. It would also make for a lot of nervous politicians because Trump is operating under Obama's budget until something like October I think; so this will be taking place very close to an election year for the full House and 1/3 of the Senate. You want to be seen as a big spender???

    Great input. Thanks.

    Jesus tap dancing Christ, how can you START a war with someone that you are ALREADY at war with!?!? "Trumps gona put boots on the ground." There are ALREADY boots on the ground fighting Isis including illegally in Syria which would be legal justification for Syria to declare war on US, and those boots were put there by OBAMA, not TRUMP. So where the (*)(*)(*)(*) were you then and what the actual (*)(*)(*)(*) is your argument?

    Furthermore, what's his name clearly said "unnecessary war". Are you suggesting that stopping Isis would be an unnecessary goal? Are you a terrorist sympathizer? Supporter? Colluding?

    See the difference between Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I do not have the inclination to explain the difference to you junior.

    Well he did say he could shoot someone and his sheep would still vote for him. Ah well, 75 % of his supporters never made it to college. 75 % think Obamas a Muslim , what do we expect?

    You're insulting the military's intelligence? John Kerry did that once and it cost him the election, or maybe it was his face.
    I'm thinking of an old joke "if you're not bright enough to spell Eisenhower correctly, good luck getting the military to take you.

    Insults military peoples intelligence... but doesn't know how to spell...

    You probably have no clue what the military is like or what all is done there.

    Again. What the (*)(*)(*)(*) are you talking about. Stop trolling and just try and have an actual conversation for once. Why is that so hard for you? Here. I'll be fair and just ask plainly, what exactly does the difference between desert shield and storm have to do with what we were discussing? Is that simple enough for you? Do you need Barney to color you a picture as well? And try and say something less stupid next time "you are unaware of what they are." Jesus that is pathetic.

    Think about it. Did the same troop levels exist for one operation that existed for the other? No. Different troops have different capabilities.

    The troops we have over there now are not enough to “kick ISIS ass” and “take their oil”. More troops will be needed. Hence a new operation.
